Proper Commenting
FG Guide To: Apply FicsProper Commenting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get kind of annoyed when applyers complain about how the author wants them to comment every, say, 1-3 chapters. But you really can't blame them - it makes hella lot of sense. THEY decided to use YOUR OC, the least you can do is give them proper feedback and let them know you are still interested in reading the story. They're not asking you to comment EVERY chapter, come on you're capable.
Now I'm not telling you to give HUGE comments every chapter but it doesn't hurt every now and then. An author wants your feedback, they are using your OC and obviously you know your OC best so if they mess up something I'm pretty sure they'd want you to tell them. An author wants you to let them know what you like and didn't like about a chapter, and the story itself. A little construtive criticism is needed, hell I LOVE it and welcome it with open arms~ Just don't get too carried away that it's hurtful - hurtful comments are NEVER okay.
What NOT To Comment
"Update soon!"
"Good update" (that's it)
"Update pls"
"When are you going to update?"
"Is this story dead?"
"*pokes author"
"You " (I've never seen that but you get the idea)

If You Are Writing: Ask people what they think about the story in the AN, if you don't tell them they may think you don't want any constructive criticism.
If You Are Applying: They are using your OC, and they have the power to take out your OC. Comment not just to show the author your thoughts on the story but your thankfullness of them choosing your OC for their story.
